Alternative method of entry prototype
Enter without a purchase
No purchase is necessary. This page demonstrates a proposed mail-in entry workflow for counsel and operational review. It does not currently submit, reserve, or create an entry.
Proposed steps
- 1. Confirm the offering shown below and enter the name and account reference that must match your eligible Zero Loss account.
- 2. Print the sheet, cut around the dotted outline, and securely attach the insert to a standard rectangular postcard.
- 3. Keep the entry barcode uncovered, flat, and readable. Secure the insert at its edges; do not place tape over either the Zero Loss barcode or postal markings.
- 4. Add one current domestic postcard stamp. USPS currently lists standard postcard postage at $0.65; verify the rate when mailing.
- 5. Mail only after the Official Rules publish the processing address, entry period, received-by deadline, and per-person limit.
How to use it: Print on standard 8.5 × 11 paper, cut around the dotted line, and securely attach the insert to a standard postcard. Protect the paper from moisture where practical, but leave the Zero Loss barcode, mailing address, postal barcode area, and stamp uncovered. After an approved AMOE request is received and validated, Zero Loss will send a confirmation email.
Still awaiting approval
Counsel must approve eligibility, equal treatment, the maximum number of entries across paid and free methods, timing, required handwriting or printing, duplicate prevention, privacy disclosures, and state-specific restrictions. Operations must approve the physical address, scanning equipment, exception handling, audit trail, and retention policy.
